Graphic Design Brief

Wine label required for new ethical south African red wine called ESSAY which stands for 'Everson, shears, spencer and you' but is also a play on 'SA' and that it has a story to tell. William Everson is the wine maker, Shears the farm owner, and Spencer an investor.

Concept is a simple old type writer font on a white/off white label. Front label would say 'Essay No.1, 2010 Shiraz, South Africa' and similarly a second for another wine 'Essay No.2, 2010 Cab/Merlot Blend. Maybe the round stain of the bottom of a wine bottle in the bottom corner? Would also like for the 'essay' to double up as the logo and work in the form of a stamp.

The rear label will need to tell a short story and be able to accommodate the usual boilerplate info. The story will go something like, ' Essay No.1: It's a long story, but in short we love our wine and we think you will too. The cooling see breezes of the Indian Ocean help define this world class Shiraz from the Western Cape. Aged in french oak for 20 months, the bold flavors will compliment all red meats or simply enjoy on its own. Learn more about our story at www.essaywines.com.

The cab/merlot will read similar: Essay No.2: It's a long story, but in short we love our wine and we think you will too. The cooling see breezes of the Indian Ocean help define this world class red blend from the Western Cape. Aged in french oak for 20 months, this wine will compliment all red meats or simply enjoy on its own. Learn more about our story at www.essaywines.com.
